We are back at the Fattorie Faggioli! Federica wrapped up another successful quarter at Evergreen and I received approval to do some work online over the next 5 weeks, so we jumped on the chance to return. So far we've been recovering from jetlag, checking the status of everything, and hosting an huge group of guests. Summer has returned and we with it.
We took advantage of the year's shortest nights with accordion, racy Romagnolo songs, and a big group of grocery managers from around Italy.
We checked out the Festa Artusiana the other night in neighboring Forlimpopoli. We took tour through their archaeological museum where we learned about how the Papal state salted the fields in this area for their resistance to Church edicts, saw Roman terra cotta plumbing used to carry water from the Bidente river below our farm into houses miles and miles away, and checked out the skeleton of a medieval woman recovered from a mall construction project with no cavities from her simple but healthy diet. The main attraction of the festival, named for Pellegrino Artusi, is food. Artusi is famous for recording hundreds of recipes in his "Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well" (La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiare bene), from classics like tagliatelle con ragu (the original pasta with meat sauce) to more obscure delicacies. The festival features a similar variety, which struck this American as strangely unusual here. Folks like to eat the things they like to eat here, so a significant number of the booths offered Romagnolo classics like tagliatelle or piadina.(flat bread often served with cheese and cured ham). The booths I gravitated toward served the more unusual things for the average Romagnian: macrobiotic dishes, heirloom fruit preserves, slabs of beef. We actually visited the same festival with Walker and Monika last year and ended up wandering aimlessly, hungry and indecisive, for hours. This time we just forgot to bring cash.
Artusi's recipes are scattered throughout the festival. This recipe is for mushrooms in olive oil, which Fede and our friend Alice skipped for the gelato.
These are formaggi di fossa, cheeses that have been buried and aged under various flavorful conditions.
The Castle at the center of Forlimpopoli, one of the few structures left standing when the church destroyed the town for insubordination. Home of the archaeological museum and an indie movie theater.
It's too hard to like you thru this system, but I love your lives!!!!!
Thank you Tina. I've made the decision to recuse myself from some social media because of the fast thrills and cheap likes. Join us out here! The weather's fine!
Gorgeous gorgeousness. And fabulous writing. Damn. Really got the sense of being there. Italy in June. What an outstanding thing that exists in the world. Loved all the details!! You must be jealous of yourself!
Thank you! We're in the Dolomites now, taking a small break to check out another corner of Italian June. This version is slightly more German, which tickles my ancestral identity in the most pleasently stern way.
The Farmer's Markets are revving up here. New garlic is beginning to appear and carrots are about to roll in. How old is the castle? I compare it to our old-growth island that I look at every day, centuries old. Looking forward to electronic ring dating. Typically we have groves containing five century and older trees. Hope you don't miss all the sunny days in the Northwest. We just enjoyed a windy rainy spell. Safe journey.
Thanks for the update and for passing along our blog to Pan, Boyd! I believe the castle dates from around the 1000's, though apparently the church which held the records (and is within the castle walls) burned down around the 1200's so they don't have a totally accurate account. This also makes it difficult to date our house too.
I love the vicarious delights of following you across the globe. Can you add me? How do I get these updates directly, instead of by way of Boyd?

Goucher finishes 3rd in marathon debut - Aurum Sports Group is an athlete-centered sports marketing and athlete management agency.
Kara Goucher ran in memory of her father, took to heart a note from coach Alberto Salazar and became the first American woman to earn a top-three finish at the New York City Marathon in 14 years.
Goucher, who briefly led at the midway point on Sunday, finished third in 2 hours, 25 minutes, 53 seconds, eclipsing Deena Kastor for the fastest marathon debut by an American woman. Kastor ran a 2:26:58 in 2001, also in New York.
She might have been more familiar with the five boroughs of New York had her father, Mirko Grgas, not been killed by a drunk driver in 1982 when she was nearly 4. Her mother moved Goucher and her two sisters to the Midwest shortly after the accident.
Goucher cried as she shook hands with well-wishers at the finish line in Central Park after a thrilling run in windy, cool conditions. A short time later, she climbed the podium next to winner Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain and runner-up Ludmilla Petrova of Russia.
Goucher is the first American to reach the podium since Anne Marie Letko was third in 1994.
Goucher led briefly at the halfway point, edging in front of Radcliffe. She fell back in the pack at mile 19, showing signs of having only five weeks of training at more than 100 miles. But Goucher rallied to third, finishing 10 seconds behind the 40-year-old Petrova and about 2 minutes behind Radcliffe.
"My plan was to do what I saw (Gete) Wami do last year and tuck behind whoever was in the lead and just gut it out as long as possible," Goucher said.
Goucher thought about her father around the 12-mile mark amid chants of "Queens girl" from the crowd along the 26.2-mile route.
Goucher, who grew up in Duluth, Minn., had another first last year when she became the first American woman to win a world championship medal, a bronze, in the 10,000 meters.
Goucher said her training with Salazar paid off.
Goucher won the 5,000 at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene this summer, and came in second in the 10,000. She ran in both events in Beijing, placing 10th in the 10,000 meters and ninth in the 5,000.
Last year, Goucher set an American record for a half-marathon in 1:06:57 at the Great North Run in England.


Chronic Achilles tendinopathy (CAT), a painful condition, is prevalent in the general population, and yet no program has been developed which can successfully treat this disorder in all cases. Recent evidence has shown that pain may be a limiting factor in a person's ability to rehabilitate their Achilles tendon. In order to help researchers develop a more effective rehabilitation program for tendinopathies, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of topical diclofenac on individuals with CAT.
Participants will be randomized to receive 10% topical diclofenac (an anti-inflammatory gel), or placebo (gel only, no drug). They will be asked to come into the study centre to have some baseline measurements of pain taken. The same measurements will be retaken after 4 weeks of treatment. This marks the end of the treatment period. There will be a final follow-up, by phone or email, at 12 weeks.
There are no known benefits of participating, because the clinical efficacy of this treatment has not yet been established. A previous study showed that 10% diclofenac can have a short-term analgesic effect for Achilles tendinopathy, but its longer term effect (i.e. over a 4 week period) is not known.
Some participants can experience an allergic reaction to the gel - symptoms include a rash and/or itchiness. In theory, some subjects could experience a gastrointestinal bleed due to diclofenac entering the circulation. Symptoms would include stomach pain and bloody stool.
Individuals treated with topical diclofenac will have a greater improvement in VISA-A score at 4 weeks than those treated with placebo gel.
Participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive 10% diclofenac treatment or an identical-appearing placebo gel. 1 g of the allocated gel will be massaged into a painful area of the tendon as needed over 4 weeks, up to 3 times daily.

Hey guys, here's one of my entries, Skull Alien. The first two are renders done with Arnold (sculpted in Zbrush) and the rest are resin copies.
This is gorgeous! The first image is a render in Arnold? Damn, looks like a carefully arranged photo with that leaf dappled light.


Foam core boards are great for event signage, trade shows and art projects.
Unlike poster papers or vinyl self-adhesive core boards are very rigid and can be placed on an easel or stick completely flat on a wall or surface wrinkle and bubble free.
Foam core boards are available with or without media printed.


There are choices galore with the Citroen DS3 and they begin with 10 different colours along with four different shades for the roof. There is even more choice as Citroen offer up a huge range of different graphics to put on the roof, along with coloured alloy wheels and door mirrors.
The choice for design is simply staggering and when you get over this you then have to choose your options for the interior. Here choices include panels in different colours and different designs for the carpet. Believe it or not even the colour of the key may be chosen.
There are also different choices for engines, and trims, depending on the performance you want. Whichever you choose it will come packed with equipment. While it is difficult to choose, we prefer the THP 165 petrol engine with the DSport trim. Citroen also offer a servicing package that is pre-paid and this gives you an extended warranty which covers three years of service.
At MLD we offer a range of what we believe are very cost-attractive car finance solutions, including Car Loan, hire purchase and personal contract purchase deals.


Right now, Icelandic wonderers Sigur Rós are still in the midst of their Valtari Mystery Film Experiment, their effort to commission art-film accompaniments for all the songs from their new album. And even though they've already released a proper music video for "Varúð," the new clip for the song might actually be more accessible. In the new one, the great photographer Ryan McGinley turns New York City into a golden-hour fantasyland, in which a mysterious yellow-haired girl skips throughout the city. It's purty. Watch it below.
this piece is my poem to new york city. i wanted to bring a childhood innocence to the streets, through a character whose own light and wonder effects the world around her. i'm always interested in an atmosphere where dreams and reality mingle on equal terms.
Valtari is out now on XL.


Hi guys! How are you all doing? This blog post is kind off a weight loss one. As you all know I quite struggle with this and I've been wanting to lose weight for a long time. I already have lost some but it's going super slow!
In my last post I already told you about my weight not changing or even only get higher even though I started doing healthy things and working out. I also talked about speeding up my metabolism as I think that's the reason why everything is the way it is. I've been on a "diet" for so long that my body just got lazy in some sort of way. It's used to everything I do now and although it's scary and a weird thought I need to consume more calories in order to lose weight. I also try to eat more protein, and drink more water as that is what the internet told me to do lol. My leg is still not really healed so running is not on the agenda right now unfortunately, I really hope I can pick it up again soon. I do want to go out and go for a walk on the same days though.
On the internet it also says that weight training also helps with speeding up your metabolism so yesterday I wrote a little workout program again for the I don't even know how many times. I've tried it before but nothing really sticks which is a shame. I really hope I can concur this whole metabolism thing and if I do I will definitely do a whole post about it and all the things I've done to get past that stupid weight plateau. Unfortunately we're not that far yet and I'm still constantly figuring out myself on which things work and which don't. I really hope these things help otherwise I'm kinda lost.
For now I will just do my best and you will hear the updates soon, see you all next time!

Hi.I just wanted to tell you that you are doing great! I understand how hard this journey can be, especially since I am struggling with this myself. I wish you all the best in your journey and you should be really proud of yourself for being brave enough to continue improving your lifestyle. Also, a tip that works great for me is drinking green or any other kind of tea when you feel hungry, but it's not breakfast/luch/dinner time yet! Please, keep us posted on your progress.


If Jud Suss — Rise and Fall, recently shown at the Berlin Film Festival, takes the story of the most notorious anti-Semitic film ever made and paints it in melodramatic terms, then Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Suss, a documentary currently opening around the country, is its historical antidote.
Directed by Felix Moeller, the film is the mesmerizing story of Veit Harlan, the most famous director of the Nazi era, whose rabidly anti-Jewish 1940 film Jew Suss was not only a huge European hit, but was required viewing for all S.S. soldiers and has left a legacy that his children and grandchildren are still dealing with.
Filled with the usual archival clips and talking heads, Moeller's picture shows how Harlan, whose talent was for kitschy romances and overblown spectacle, was handpicked by Joseph Goebbels to direct a film about a cunning and ruthless 18th-century Jewish financier who takes over a German province and lusts after pure Aryan maidens.
Seen today, Jew Suss looks bizarre, wildly over-acted and ludicrous — it could almost be called anti-Semitic camp — so it's hard to understand why it was such a box-office success at the time. But of course, the world of 1940 was another universe entirely.
Besides, Harlan: In the Shadow of Jew Suss, does not intend to act as a critical review of Harlan's oeuvre (the clips from his films say all you need to know about Harlan's talent, or lack of same), but means to explore why Harlan made the film, and how it has affected his family. Was Harlan an opportunist, a dedicated Nazi, or forced to do it? He always claimed the latter, but his protests come across as utterly unconvincing, especially when the documentary points out that even though the director lived until 1964, he never apologized for the film.
A sense of remorse seems to have been left to his children, most of whom have tried, in one way or another, to distance themselves from Harlan's legacy. One became a Nazi hunter. Another, convinced by the rise of Nazism that bad things happen when people do not speak out early enough, has become an environmental activist. Two of Harlan's daughters married Jews (one converted to Judaism), and another changed her last name so she could pursue an acting career. Their responses to Jew Suss — except for one son who refuses to discuss "private" matters — range from outrage to embarrassment to a sort of bemused distress, as they wonder why such a "cheesy" film could become so notorious.
It is up to one of Harlan's granddaughters, a Jew whose paternal grandparents died in the Holocaust, to make the ultimate statement about Jew Suss — that one of her grandfathers made a film justifying the murder of the other. It is a chilling comment in a brilliant, and thoughtful, documentary.

Introducing the The Junior Times from 1922-1923!
There isn't much information around the 'net about "The Junior Times", the 8 page little tabloid Sunday supplement for children, started as a supplement to the Los Angeles Sunday Times on July 23, 1922. Here is the announcement of the little paper, advertised on the front page of the Los Angeles Times: The paper started out a lot like a miniature "St. Nicholas" magazine, reprinting some of the Chicago Tribune's kid-skewing features like "The Teeny-Weenies" and obscure comic strips like "Just Dog" by Robert Dickey and "Buttons and Fatty" by a cartoonist named "Meb". It wasn't until Sept. 9th, 1923 that "Aunt Dolly"'s interactive pages for children started. The mysterious Aunt encouraged poetry, fiction, art and photography from her young readers and got a good response. Among the earliest contributors were Manuel M. Moreno, who was an animation pioneer working with Walter Lantz as early as 1930: This little drawing, "Not So Happy Fourth" from 9-9-1923, is the earliest one I could find in the Jr. Times. Manuel developed a cuter Oswald the Rabbit for Walter Lantz while he worked there, he had a more appealing and controlled approach to his animation than the usual standard at Lantz. As a child, he figured prominently in the 1923 Aunt Dolly Christmas Party: "Speaking of Toy-Makers reminds me of the good news concerning our talented cartoonist, Manuel K. (sic) Moreno. He is making a meteorlike career for himself. First capturing a Kodak as a prize, then receiving a special $5 cash prize in addition for exceptional Toy-Maker work. But not content with such honors, he has become a captain of our famous club, thereby winning another prize. Now just when Aunt Dolly was writing his order for a $2.50 check, in he has come with two bulging parcels under his arm. 'For the Toy-Makers,' he said, with his ready smile, 'I hope they will make some little boy and girl happy.' It is needless to say that The Times committee of happiness was surprised when they looked down on his clever pivoting toys, a cat that humps his back, raises it's tail and rolls it's eyes at you, a football player carved and painted, that throws a ball like a bluestreak, and a clown that opens his mouth and makes grimaces at you." (by Aunt Dolly, 12-2-1923) Note the early penchant for animation in Moreno's early toys! I certainly wish I could see pictures of those toys, especially the cat! Here are two episodes of Manuel's early comic strip for the Jr. Times, called "Mr. Peach": These are from Oct. and Dec., 1923 and are among the earliest child-contributed comic strips I found in the Jr. Times. I also found an early drawing by Bob Wickersham: from 9-16-1923, and Cal Howard: Nov. 11, 1923. I'm sure both these boys are well-known to animation fans, Wickersham for his animation at Disney's and Screen Gems, where he was the main contributor to the "Fox and Crow" cartoons, and Cal Howard, animator for Walter Lantz, who became a key gag and story creator in the golden age, contributing stories to Lantz almost right up to 1972. Thanks to the Glendale Library's subscription to the vintage L.A. Times, I can search the 1920s papers without loading any microfilm into readers, all the material is right here on the 'net. The "Vacation, 'Nuff Sed" cover drawing above is by Hardie Gramatky, future creator of "Little Toot" and pioneer Disney animator, as well as one of the finest California watercolorists. He was one of John Bohnenberger's idols as related in a previous post. Hardie's mother, and brother Herbert both contributed to Aunt Dolly's contests as well in 1923. It must have helped Hardie to come from such an artistic family, look what he did with his heritage! I'll try to find more material from "The Junior Times" as we go along. Such kids as Fred Moore contributed some comics to the Junior Times later on, as we'll see.
Barker Bill is from 1-24 to 2-6-1955 this time. The circus is still travelling, with many gags featuring the Fat Lady, Phyllis Fizeek and May, her niece, Elephants, a Giraffe and of course, Peanut Perkins, the resident dumb roustabout. Perkins is even in the Sunday page from the Boston Globe. A mix-up in deliveries to the tailor and the Gorilla by Peanut, set up the next batch of continuity gags in the Barker Bill strip.
Felix from 6-3 to 6-9-1935 continues the Gorilla Island story. It's uncanny how such a cartoony style as Messmer's can create scary monster animals, such as the ones in 6-6 and 6-8 episodes. The giant duck introduced in the 6-8 figures in the story to a great extent later on. The Giant making a pipe out of an elf's house in the Sunday page, reminds me of some of the gags in "The Brave Little Tailor", a Mickey Mouse cartoon from 1938. Messmer did them first!
Krazy this time is from 4-14 to 4-19-1941. The continuity lasts all week and involves two trees, Offissa Pupp and Ignatz as the principal elements. The last two strips feature a talking brick. The key weapon in the strip has become a character.
Patrick, from 2-13 to 2-18-1967, concludes our little screed this time. Suzy is the featured supporting player this week, trying to get a valentine out of Patrick and trying to appeal to his stomach with a cake. Patrick believes that St. Valentine's day is actually Attila the Hun's birthday. Sounds like an appropriate hero for the horrible little brat.
If any of you historians out there can contribute some info. to the "Junior Times" series, drop me a line. It will be a welcome relief from all the mail I get in Russian and the strange offers of Faster Computer Speeds which usually originate from Gmail addresses. Cut it out you guys, or I'll give you such a pinch!
The response to the John Bohnenberger posts weren't too much, but that's understandable. The computer savvy are too young, and the folks who knew John are mostly computer illiterate. I'll just post some comics this time, starting with Barker Bill from 1-10 to 1-22-1955. The gags all feature the side-show freaks like the tall man, the fat lady and Phyllis Fezeek, the strong woman. Her little niece May figures in some of these. Peanuts Perkins, roustabout and all-around dumb guy is good for a few jokes as well.
I echo the elve's comment in the last panel of the Felix Sunday page, "What would we do without Felix?" Here's Felix from 5-27 to 6-2-1935. He's still on the Ape's island with Danny and the explorers from the ship. Mostly insect and strange animals populate the tropical paradise in this batch of strips. I love the pose in the last panel of the 6-1, as Felix happily dozes after subduing a horned beast with a brace of melons. I love the change of character in the "Laura" topper, as she becomes less of a pest, and more of a homeless parrot in need of love.
Krazy, from 4-7 to 4-12-1941, starts off with an iconic Ignatz strip in which he is "Hunted, Haunted and Hounded" as we all are, by the threat of incarceration. There are also a couple of little two-day continuities featuring Offissa Pupp fishing for Ignatz with a fishing pole baited with brick, and Krazy and Pupp sailing down the river in a box.
Here's Patrick, 2-6 to 2-11-1967. Patrick gets his repulsiveness from pills and sprays, and poor Suzy can't bake her way into Patrick's very hard heart with her concrete cookies in the 2-11. Well, I'm gonna keep my head down and keep puttin' up these crazy strips til' y'all beg for mercy! See you next post.
More About John Bohnenberger
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012
Cathy and I are thinking a lot of our late friend, and wonderful artist, John Bohnenberger. Cathy wrote a tribute to him that was in the last post. This time I'm putting up four images of John's paintings that I found on the Internet that I especially admire. The one upstairs is called "The Fox", and has to be my favorite Bohnenberger I've seen so far. I love the black squiggle he's used for the little fox at the bottom of the page, and how the small creature seems to be looking out over his purple and yellow pond into the forest beyond. John's really used complimentary colors well here, and he's just suggested the forest in the distance by leaving white, pine shaped spaces in the background. Reflections work well in watercolor, and John has used them very appealingly here. I love this painting for it's color and cartooniness!
The two paintings here are called "Blue Boy" and "The Intersection". They show two sides of John's skill, "Blue Boy" shows his almost photographic style, very realistic handling of the boats with those watercolor reflections dominating the composition. The top half of the picture is loaded with detail, but doesn't feel heavy. The bottom half is devoted to reflections of the top half, but not a mirror image. John could really do water! "The Intersection" is the more impressionist side of John's ability. Very loose handling of the people, buildings, umbrellas and sky, coupled with a wet street for those attractive reflections. He's used little bits of bright color, red accents in the signs and orange in the ponchos, which brighten the whole painting. He's used violet and subdued colors most everywhere else. This painting suggests a city street without painting every window ledge and headlight. Here is another beautiful watercolor that John called, "The Klondike Cafe". This painting suggests a little harbor in Alaska without an over-excess of mood. The trees in the background are really one big shape with just a few little accent shapes for contrast and the buildings and boats are defined by the shadows and reflections they cast on themselves and on the water. Note how different the reflections are in this painting than in "Blue Boy". Very simple white shapes with a few white squiggles on the surface of the water. This painting reminds me of watercolors that might have been done by Roger Armstrong (who John knew) and Hardie Gramatky. Here's a copy of the now "rare" little program printed for John's eulogy near the retirement community where he lived. John lived to be 86, but always seemed younger than that to us. John, Cathy and I are and were shy people. We don't like to force ourselves on anybody, and usually keep to ourselves. John didn't encourage any visitors to his little living space which you can see below from the outside. According to friends, John had no room in his apartment for anyone to sit. It was FILLED floor to ceiling with his paintings. If you visited, you stood until you got tired, then the visit was over. Like visiting Ollie Johnston's house when he had left it, this same feeling came over me when we saw where John had lived. How I wish we (or I) had just BULLED my way over there and knocked on John's door. I really wanted to visit his studio. He never invited us (or me) and didn't encourage visitors, but shucks, this man was very special, and SHOULD have been visited. So, dear, shy and gentle readers, if you admire an artist or want to visit them, just BULL your way in there. Look how short life is, and how little time we have to say "I love your work, how do you do it?" I wish I could have put a little note in John's mailbox below, saying simply, "John we loved your paintings, and loved you, too."
In Barker Bill, from 12-27-1954 to 1-9-55, the strong woman, Phyllis Fezeek, invites her niece, May to visit her. May immediately starts playing rough with Puddy, who breaks his rule against speaking to anybody but Bill and talks to May. The circus packs up to go on the road, fat lady, efficiency expert and all. In the Sunday for Jan. 9th, there are a couple of gags that remind me of the song "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" from the Marx Bros. film "At The Circus", and the final panel reminds me of the RBGH that cows are fed these days. Maybe they give the cows green colored glasses so they can't see the awful stuff they throw in their troughs.
Felix this time, from 5-20 to 5-26-1935, continues the story of the Island Ape held captive on the ship. Felix lures the Ape's little family on board to keep him company, and ship's company prepares to explore the island by getting inoculated against jungle fever. In the Sunday, Felix continues to wear white gloves as he uses hollow spaghetti to blow black pepper in the face of the giant.
In Krazy, 1-31 to 4-5-1941, a gramophone and a famous Latin phrase bookend the gags. Ignatz gets a black eye from a tough dog character other than Offissa Pupp in the 4-5.
Patrick, this time from 1-30 to 2-4-1967, missed two days, 2-1 and 2-3. I guess Dad didn't bring the paper home those nights. Nathan certainly has command of philosophy in the 1-31. I'm not familiar with John Stuart Mill, guess I've got some research to do.
Yogi this time, for the month of February, 1962, features four strips which are probably a collaboration between Gene Hazelton and Harvey Eisenberg. The 2-25 really looks like Harvey's work to me, especially the last panel. The rest of the strips could have been drawn by Hazelton, but the logos look like Harvey's distinctive letter designs. Make sure you click "Yowp" on the blogroll over to the right, and read what Yowp has to say about these Yogi Bear pages over at his blog. Check out Tralfaz too, always interesting reading. Remember to click all the images above to see them larger and avoid those computer headaches.

It is set to be the biggest and best to date, the Rightmove Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend is preparing for over 12,000 people to take part in one of the its events, and "now is the time to set yourself a New Year challenge", says organiser and founder Andy Hully.
"This is the biggest Marathon is the region, the closest being London but it's not just for the super fit," explains Andy Hully, "The Milton Keynes Marathon Weekend is full of people that have set themselves a challenge, for businesses that are looking to raise money for charity and for people to come together to run for fun.
"As we start the New Year, it's the perfect time to think about a challenge. Our advice to anyone reading this is to register today, not tomorrow. Do it now and then you've committed to doing something amazing. If you start training now, you have plenty of time to get fit for the full 26 miles, especially for those that have already run a half marathon and are thinking of the next step. If you're new or a casual runner, the half marathon is still an incredible achievement, and we can give you everything you need to make it a race to remember."
The Milton Keynes Marathon organisers provide fitness advice and host clinics for just £10, which includes a free High5 nutrition pack worth £15 - the first being on 11 February at David Lloyd Leisure - which explain how to train, when to train and how to avoid injury. The website (www.mkmarathon.com) is full of tips, advice, inspiration videos, testimonials, a map of the route, what to expect on the day and what runners will see.
"Milton Keynes has some spectacular sites on the route, from Willen Lake and the Peace Pagoda to the historic Linford Manor and Bradwell Windmill - it's not all roundabouts and concrete cows," Andy adds. "It's is also one of the flattest marathons in the country, which, if considering a marathon for the first time, is a huge advantage."
The scale of the Marathon Weekend has become so large that it's even has its own concert.
Starting and finishing at the home of Milton Keynes Don's football club, the Stadium MK provides a spectacular start and finish for the race, and now includes the Rightmove Race Village.

Bethesda To Host Its Very First E3 Press Conference In June, Fuels Speculation Of Fallout 4
Michael Briers Feb 10, 2015 11:18 am 2015-02-10T11:32:48-05:00
Bethesda has confirmed plans to host the first E3 press conference in the company's history, slating the event for Sunday, June 14 in Hollywood.
While the esteemed publisher remained coy on the specifics of the conference itself, the Internet is already rife with speculation. In particular, many are assuming that Bethesda is opening up the play to stage its own show in order to unveil the long-rumored Fallout 4. Still, even though there is a considerable amount of pent-up demand for the next iteration in the series, it's almost certain that the studio will use the window of time to detail more information pertaining to games both old and new. The question is, what could those new titles be?
Alas, it's all conjecture at this early stage. In saying that, there has been a series of reports the peg Fallout 4's post-apocalyptic setting to Boston, Massachusetts, and while it's likely that Bethesda has made some alterations in the time that has passed, don't be too surprised if Boston happens to be the main wasteland that players will be exploring come release.
But Fallout 4 isn't the only property in the publisher's roster, far from it. It's already teased development of a next entry into the Doom franchise, while many have assumed that development on a sequel to Dishonoured is all but confirmed. Time will tell whether these nebulous properties will come to the fore.
We'll be bringing all the news from E3 as it happens here on We Got This Covered. But for now, let us know what you'd like to see from Bethesda's upcoming press conference in the comments section below.


Both the Greek U19 and U17 national teams found out their opponents in the the Euro 2018 elite qualifying round after Wednesday's draw.
The U19 national team will have a very difficult task at hand in the EURO 2018 elite qualifying round after being placed in Group 3 along with Italy, Czech Republic, and Poland. Matches will be played in Italy on March 21-28, 2018 with only the group winner earning a ticket to the final tournament in Finland.
The Ethniki Neon finished second in the first qualifying round jumping ahead of Russia on the final matchday in a 2:1 come from behind victory in a must win match. Romania topped the group with a perfect three wins from three matches.
The U17 national team was placed in Group 8 along with Scotland, Norway, and group favorites Germany in the elite qualifying round for EURO 2018. The matches in Group 8 will be played in Greece on March 21-27, 2018 with the group winner and the best seven (out of eight) runner-ups advancing to the EURO 2018 finals in England.
Like Goumas, U17 coach Vasilis Georgopoulos stated that the group will be a difficult one, however the Ethniki Paidon will contest a place in the European championships. Georgopoulos assured that Greece will be ready for the matches in March and noted that his players must take full advantage of playing these games at home.
Both the U17 & U19 national teams also found out their opponents for the first of two qualifying rounds of Euro 2019. The U17 team was drawn into Group 12 along with Belgium, Latvia, and Moldova with qualifiers scheduled for October 25-30, 2018. The U19 team was drawn into Group 13 along with Romania, Gibraltar, and Bulgaria with qualifiers scheduled for November 14-20, 2018.


Dbilas Dynamic, a tuning firm from Germany has created a new proposal for the Opel Corsa OPC. The kit will offer more power from the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, as well as fiery decals.
The tuner will pump power to 235kW with 400Nm of torque, a jump of about 90kW. The figure was obtain by adding a forged pistons, a new turbocharger, a remapped ECU, a new sport air filter and induction kit, and a new exhaust system.
There's a 0-100km/h time of 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 264km/h.
The body will drop by 20 mm thanks to Eibach springs, where the wheels come in a size of 19-inches.

Is pornography a problem?
The other day I saw Jordan Peterson talking about pornography. The statement he made that seemed factual was that a teenager in 15 minutes can see more naked or pornographic women than the richest or most powerful king in ancient days.
That doesn't seem like a problem; but, there are a myriad effects of pornography on the young mind. Now, I don't know all these effects that are problematic, as I've only heard of a few.
What are your opinions of whether pornography is problematic?
I think the most philosophical problem I can present whist ethical is the objectification of women. Women are portrayed as some tool for men to gratify themselves. I think this is a philosophical problem for the reason that the purpose of a women is skewed towards the idea that their function is to look a certain way and do certain things for men out of a man's desire or lust towards her.
If that makes sense what else can be mentioned?
@unenlightened, what do you think? I'm not much of a psychologist; but, doesn't pornography have negative effects that change our beliefs towards women?
Are there any ethical detriments you can think of in regards to the young being exposed to pornography?
Huge problem. Any child with a digital phone or tablet device, anywhere in the democratic world (and in the absence of parental control software), now has instaneous access to an unlimited array of pornographic media through the same device they're supposed to use for homework. How can that *not* have an effect? There has been a lot of media coverage on the effects this is having on teen sexual problems, expectations of how girls ought to behave during sex, and what sex actually comprises. There are 'no-fap' websites completely populated by people, mainly men but also some women, desperately trying to de-habituate themselves to repetitive behaviours around pornography which frequently results in the inability to really engage in mature erotic relationships. It's all the work of the devil, although criticizing porn on the internet is like criticizing beer in a pub.
punos
Pornography is a kind of supernormal stimulus, since it offers unending sexual novelty, surprise, searching and wanting. This can make real sex seem boring in comparison, as the brain can become accustomed to the exaggerated stimuli of pornography and expect it over real life experiences. Excessive use of pornography can rewire the brain and lead to addiction, as it exposes one to supernormal stimuli which can shape how they view sexual situations. Frequent consumption of pornography can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and arousal, as well as an increased risk of sexual dysfunction. If maintaining the reproductive viability of the species is a moral imperative then it's probably a good idea to reduce the consumption of pornography in society, but that's not happening.
Supernormal stimulus:
Sexual imprinting can also become pathological if young children are exposed especially at key developmental stages, disrupting the natural order of the sexual response system extending into adulthood.
punos OptionsShare
Not to me.
May I observe there are a number of different kinds of pornography. Many people consume interior design material the same way others consume sexually explicit material. There are also sports pornography, military pornography, fashion pornography, ad infinitum.
Ok, ok, so I realize you are raising the issue of sexually explicit pornography
One of the problems of a teenager viewing porn is that he will see a lot of unrepresentative body types. In gay porn, at least, an average-looking male is hard to come by. The subjects have uniformly buffed bodies -- every muscle group is at least fairly well defined. (I'm not speaking of bodybuilder models, here.). This is a distorted image of what a large portion of potential sex partners will look like.
The same probably applies to straight porn, which as a gay man, I've spent very little time viewing. Both representative body types of women and the sexual styles which most women would probably prefer appear to be few and far between.
I'm an objectifier. I do look at other men as sexual objects -- in addition to looking at other men as multilayered complex beings. However, if someone is thinking about fucking, multilayered complexity isn't the approach they are going to take.
The sex drive wasn't designed in a feminist sensitivity and diversity workshop. It's pretty basic by itself. When men and women are guided by the sex drive alone, the results are effective, but not necessarily grace filled. We often (but not always) couple our sex drives to our drives for affection, love, nurturing, comfort, and so on.
Pornography is good at depicting basic sex. That is what it is for. Complex cultural works (film, fiction, drama, poetry, opera, dance, etc.) are capable of capturing the complex human experience above and beyond basic sex.
One thing about basic sex, though: there is no such thing as meaningless sex.
One other thing: Early and thorough sex education coupled with emotion education would help people a great deal.

The reproductive viability of the species appears to be intact on a global level. Are we to suppose that super-stimulating pornography is the cause of less-than-replacement-reproduction-levels? Or is super-normal economic stimulation perhaps the problem?
BTW, probably no sensible person thinks it is a good idea for children to spend much time looking at adult pornography.
Mikie
What are your opinions of whether pornography is problematic? — Shawn
I think it is. Like any other dopamine-increasing activity, it becomes addictive and, most importantly, creates unrealistic expectations.
The porn when I was a kid was tame in comparison to today. Playboys, Cinemax, etc. Now there's no mystery— it's like anatomy class. It's also degrading and gross.
I feel for younger generations exposed to this shit early. It's a much more rampant issue than I thought.
Mikie OptionsShare
The reproductive viability of the species appears to be intact on a global level. — BC
I addressed pornography because it was the topic of the OP, but there is much more that dwarfs the problem of pornography when it comes to the reproductive viability of the species. Here is an earlier post i made that further addresses this issue from a different angle.
"studies have shown that exposure to microplastics can lead to decreased sperm quality and testosterone levels in mice, as well as lower fertility rates in both men and women. Globally fertility rates have decreased significantly over the last 70 years, starting shortly after plastics began to be mass-produced following the Second World War. Microplastics are considered to be ubiquitous and a widespread contaminant, documented in almost all aquatic habitats, several atmospheric and terrestrial environments, and also in human consumables. Microplastics have even been detected in human placenta."
BTW, probably no sensible person thinks it is a good idea for children to spend much time looking at adult pornography. — BC
You're probably right, but the problem is not if we think it's a good idea or not, it's that it's impossible to effectively prevent children from being exposed to pornographic content in a media saturated environment like we have today. Parents are busier than ever and are unable to consistently monitor their children's viewing habits, not to mention a lot of parents don't even want to be parents and don't care.
Culture is also a relevant parameter to consider, Eskimos have sex in front of their children without ill effect, some primitive tribal societies live their entire lives naked and don't even have a concept as to what pornography even is. That's probably a topic for another thread.
Of course it is. In several different ways.
The most obvious one giving children a badly skewed version of sex, love and relationships. It's not the sight of naked people that's a problem - in fact, that would be healthy, if the naked people were depicted engaging in normal, benign activities. But they're not, and what they're doing is not simply coupling like normal people. There is a lot of kink, fetishism, deviance - and no, I don't mean same sex couples who are both alive and willing - sadism, etc. That's not the way to introduce children to understanding sexual desire or sexual fulfillment.
Then, there is the issue of respect for self and others. If the most intimate acts are on display as performance by paid participants, what is the child to think of the dignity and value of persons? How is he supposed to respect anyone's privacy? Or curb his own baser impulses? How is he supposed to think about, talk to, show consideration for potential romantic partners? Pornography won't turn all the little boys into rapists and all the little girls into sluts... but it's not doing much for interpersonal relations.
Then there is the other side of the screen. The making of the videos. The treatment of the "stars". The working conditions, damage to the self-regard and social standing of people who make living in that medium... assuming they do so by choice. But how many are doing it under coercion or manipulation? And is performing for the camera all that they're forced to do? How many are actually slaves? As long as there is a market for something, many will commodify it and many more will make a racket of it. There will be victims.
Pornography isn't much different from other stimulants. If anything it's more tame than alcohol and other drugs. It should go without saying that you keep those things away from young children, and that it's primarily the parents' responsibility to educate their children on such things when the time comes for experimentation. And experimentation is healthy.
I think the most philosophical problem I can present whist ethical is the objectification of women. — Shawn
To what degree do you believe it is a problem when consenting adults choose to objectify themselves for money?
Side note: it's not just women who get objectified in porn.

I was reading that several states are implementing legal requirements for robust proof of age measures for pornography sites. That makes a lot of sense to me.
The statement he made that seemed factual was that a teenager in 15 minutes can see more naked or pornographic women than the richest or most powerful king in ancient days. — Shawn
That statement reveals an interesting perspective, which is that the availability of women for sexual arousal purposes is a commodity and it historically was only affordable by the wealthy. From a capitalistic perspective, it should therefore be no surprise that someone has figured out how to bring this to the regular masses, which then begs the question of whether it's worse now that the vices of yesterday's kings are available to today's pauper.
There is the polar opposite model as well, where access to nudity and sexuality is readily available to all, as in certain underdeveloped tribal societies.

How can that *not* have an effect? — Wayfarer
I agree with the statement that there is some effect, yet this hasn't been proven according to science of the magnitude or degree or what kind of effects it has on teenagers and adults.
At the present moment, it's hard to exactly measure what kind of effects does pornography produce in the adolescent brain or psychology or behavior.
↪punos
Interesting. I believe you are right about that.
I feel for younger generations exposed to this shit early. It's a much more rampant issue than I thought. — Mikie
Yeah, as I said to Wayfarer, I practically have no idea to what degree is it a negative. It's commonly assumed it's a negative but not many people know by how much...
That statement reveals an interesting perspective, which is that the availability of women for sexual arousal purposes is a commodity and it historically was only affordable by the wealthy. From a capitalistic perspective, it should therefore be no surprise that someone has figured out how to bring this to the regular masses, which then begs the question of whether it's worse now that the vices of yesterday's kings are available to today's pauper. — Hanover
It's pretty much a commodity. Just that the amount of it produced is astonishing. There's quite a lot of it awash on the Internet.
Endocrine disruptors of various kinds have become ubiquitous. Very bad. In addition to endocrine disruptors, there are the various chemicals that disrupt genetic expression and development in egg or womb. And then there are the various carcinogens--which doesn't exhaust the list.
All part of our multidimensional environmental disaster!
gross — Mikie
All sorts of normal, common human activities can be presented as "gross", of course. Sometimes the difference between pleasing and disgusting is a matter of minor adjustments in the filming. But some producers do seem to go out of their way to include footage that has to appeal only to a very narrow range of 'taste'.
The Waters film Pink Flamingoes isn't pornography IMO, but at several points, Waters' usual merely 'bad taste' crossed into 'shocking tastelessness'--just a few seconds worth.
All part of our multidimensional environmental disaster! — BC
There is a silver lining to all this in my view.
...according to science... — Shawn
How is it a scientific issue? Why are such questions to be arbitrated by scientific methods, and by what criteria?
And more to the point, I'm certain there are a great many peer-reviewed journal articles from sociology, social psychology and more on the harms and effects of exposure to pornography. I do notice the odd soul-searching kind of article in the Australian media I read, but it's usually counter-balanced by the overall libertarian attitude of Western media for whom all such questions are non-negotiably a matter of individual predeliction.
What are your opinions of whether pornography is problematic. — Shawn
Here on the S.S. Climate Change, porn isn't any more "problematic" than masturbatory video games, online gambling, social media, 24/7/365 consumerism, gun-hoarding or binge drinking. What does not kill you, makes you weirder. :vomit: :strong:
One problem I have with children and pornography is that when I was a child (let's say, 12 years old--1958) pornography of any kind was simply not available where I grew up. I had, therefore, no personal, subjective experience with encountering sexual material. What I did do, along with millions of other boys, was mine every possible source -- Sears catalogues, encyclopedias, National Geographic, etc. for any imagery related to sex, however distant, that I could find. Pornography wasn't generally available to me until the last 1960s, early 1970s. By that time I was an adult.
The first encounter I did have was exhilarating. Seeing several pictures of naked men in print was intensely exciting, not because I hadn't seen naked men before, but because this was a 'product for sale' which meant that there was a market of other men who liked this. If, at that time, I could have gone on line and seen 10,000 pictures of naked men and men having sex, I can not imagine how that would have affected my psychosocial development.
It certainly was the case that in the isolation of Podunk Village, USA I was yearning for exactly this information.
One thing though, is that there were plenty of articles about straight sex in popular media which were very available. As a young teenager, the content of these articles wasn't very healthy or helpful because it was out of context. I was trying to draw conclusions from stories about adult sexual relationship problems which had no bearing on my life (at that age). Some of my conclusions were just plain weird.
I'm sure every teen in me stretch of the neighborhood has watched porn, but when I talk to them, they seem like normal, good people. As far as I can tell, a (young) person who's porn-literate is no different than one who's not.

There is the polar opposite model as well, where access to nudity and sexuality is readily available to all, as in certain underdeveloped tribal societies. — Hanover
So, in one society, you have children told to dress properly and that they have souls and that they're free, proud, righteous citizens of a great civilization, under the rule of law, where human beings are considered priceless. At the same time, they're shown that people's bodies can be bought or rented for sexual practices, not necessarily of the reproductive kind, and displayed as a consumer item.
in the other
Nudity is commonplace. Sexuality is strictly regulated by taboos. Commodification and objectification are unknown. The young are taught by word and example to obey the laws of their tribe.

↪BC
I first saw actual hardcore aged, I think, 19, when an incredibly vulgar full-page photo was printed in a student newspaper in defiance of obscenity laws. I regret to say I was electrified by it, although at that time (early 70's) it was still impossible to get hold of. Then I went to Amsterdam, awash with porn stores, followed by Copenhagen, in 1973 and saw Deep Throat which was - how to say - something you can't un-see. I don't want to go too deeply into personal experience other than to acknowledge that I instantly became habituated, and that I regret it and think that I would have been a better man had I not become so.
Anything can be a problem. Without belief in a Higher Power or sacredness what is love? A symbiotic exchange of communication and resources to prolong an otherwise purposeless series of chemical reactions in efforts to strengthen or add resilience to a societal group and promote its advancement and longevity over that of another. How romantic. I'll light the candles.

Your attempt to draw a nexus between the rule of law, freedom, and the sanctity of life on the one hand with an adherence to traditional sexual mores on the other skips too many steps to logically follow. That is, it's entirely possibly to place a great value on human life and still treat sex as a commodity. Individual autonomy is more associated with freedom than are sexual prohibitions.
It's also false to suggest sexual behavior is for the purpose of procreation, as the vast majority of sexual behavior is not for that purpose.
Which child will grow up saner? — Vera Mont
Your term "saner" has no decipherable meaning here. Are we evaluating each society's children for mental illness?
